Τούς προστιθεμένους τη ορθοδοξία, και τη μερίδι των σωζομένων, από αιρετικών, δεχόμεθα κατά την υποτεταγμένην ακολουθίαν, και συνήθειαν. Αρειανούς μεν, και Μακεδονιανούς, και Σαββατιανούς, και Ναυατιανούς, τους λέγοντας εαυτούς Καθαρούς και Αριστερούς, και τους Τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατίτας, είτουν Τετραδίτας, και Απολλιναριστάς, δεχόμεθα διδόντας λιβέλλους, και αναθεματίζοντας πάσαν αίρεσιν, μη φρονούσαν, ως φρονεί η αγία του Θεού καθολική και αποστολική εκκλησία, και σφραγιζομένους, ήτοι χριομένους, πρώτον τω αγίω μύρω το τε μέτωπον, και τους οφθαλμούς και τας ρίνας, και το στόμα, και τα ώτα και σφραγίζοντες αυτούς, λέγομεν Σφραγίς δωρεάς Πνεύματος αγίου. Ευνομιανούς μέντοι τους εις μίαν κατάδυσιν βαπτιζομένους, και Μοντανιστάς, τους ενταύθα λεγομένους Φρύγας, και Σαβελλιανούς, τους υιοπατορίαν διδάσκοντας, και έτερά τινα και χαλεπά ποιούντας, και τας άλλας πάσας αιρέσεις (επειδή πολλοί εισιν ενταύθα, μάλιστα οι από των Γαλατών χώρας ορμώμενοι), πάντας τους υπ' αυτών θέλοντας προστίθεσθαι τη ορθοδοξία, ως Έλληνας δεχόμεθα και την πρώτην ημέραν ποιούμεν αυτούς Χριστιανούς, την δε δευτέραν κατηχουμένους είτα τη τρίτη εξορκίζομεν αυτούς, μετά του εμφυσάν τρίτον εις το πρόσωπον, και εις τα ώτα, και ούτω κατηχούμεν αυτούς, και ποιούμεν χρονίζειν εις την εκκλησίαν, και ακροάσθαι των γραφών, και τότε αυτούς βαπτίζομεν.
canon 7 of the Second Ecumenical Council
Those who from heresy turn to orthodoxy, and to the portion of those who are being saved, we receive according to the following method and custom: Arians, and Macedonians, and Sabbatians, and Novatians, who call themselves Cathari or Aristori, and Quarto-decimans or Tetradites, and Apollinarians, we receive, upon their giving a written renunciation [of their errors] and anathematize every heresy which is not in accordance with the Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church of God. Thereupon, they are first sealed or anointed with the holy oil upon the forehead, eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears; and when we seal them, we say, "The Seal of the gift of the Holy Ghost." But Eunomians, who are baptized with only one immersion, and Montanists, who are here called Phrygians, and Sabellians, who teach the identity of Father and Son, and do sundry other mischievous things, and [the partisans of] all other heresies -- for there are many such here, particularly among those who come from the country of the Galatians: -- all these, when they desire to turn to orthodoxy, we receive as heathen. On the first day we make them Christians; on the second, catechumens; on the third, we exorcise them by breathing thrice in their face and ears; and thus we instruct them and oblige them to spend some time in the Church, and to hear the Scriptures; and then we baptize them.

Τοὺς προστιθεμένους τῇ ὀρθοδοξίᾳ, καὶ τῇ μερίδι τῶν σῳζομένων ἀπὸ αἱρετικῶν, δεχόμεθα κατὰ τὴν ὑποτεταγμένην ἀκολουθίαν τε καὶ συνήθειαν. Ἀρειανοὺς μὲν καὶ Μακεδονιανούς, καὶ Ναυατιανούς, τοὺς λέγοντας ἑαυτοὺς Καθαροὺς καὶ Ἀριστερούς, καὶ τοὺς Τεσσαρακαιδεκατίτας, ἤγουν Τετραδίτας, καὶ Ἀπολλιναριστάς, δεχόμεθα, διδόντας λιβέλλους, καὶ ἀναθεματίζοντας πᾶσαν αἵρεσιν μὴ φρονοῦσαν, ὡς φρονεῖ ἡ ἁγία τοῦ Θεοῦ καθολικὴ καὶ ἀποστολικὴ ἐκκλησία, σφραγιζομένους, ἤτοι χρισμένους πρῶτον τῷ ἁγίῳ μύρῳ, τὸ μέτωπον, καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς, καὶ τὰς ῥίνας, καὶ τὸ στόμα, καὶ τὰ ὦτα, καί, σφραγίζοντες αὐτούς, λέγομεν· Σφραγὶς δωρεᾶς Πνεύματος ἁγίου. Περὶ δὲ τῶν παυλιανισάντων, εἶτα προσφυγόντων τῇ καθολικῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, ὅρος ἐκτέθειται, ἀναβαπτίζεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐξάπαντος. Εὐνομιανοὺς μέντοι, τοὺς εἰς μίαν κατάδυσιν βαπτιζομένους, καὶ Μοντανιστάς, τοὺς ἐνταῦθα λεγομένους Φρύγας, καὶ Σαβελλιανούς, τοὺς υἱοπατορίαν δοξάζοντας, καὶ ἕτερά τινα χαλεπὰ ποιοῦντας, καὶ πάσας τὰς ἄλλας αἱρέσεις, ἐπεὶ πολλοί εἰσιν ἐνταῦθα, μάλιστα οἱ ἀπὸ τῶν Γαλατῶν χώρας ἐρχόμενοι, πάντας τοὺς ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν θέλοντας προστίθεσθαι τῇ ὀρθοδοξίᾳ, ὡς Ἕλληνας δεχόμεθα· καὶ τὴν πρώτην ἡμέραν ποιοῦμεν 21 αὐτοὺς Χριστιανούς· τὴν δὲ δευτέραν, κατηχουμένους· εἶτα τὴν τρίτην, ἐξορκίζομεν μετὰ τοῦ ἐμφυσᾷν τρίτον εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον, καὶ εἰς τὰ ὦτα, καὶ οὕτω κατηχοῦμεν αὐτούς, καὶ ποιοῦμεν χρονίζειν ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, καὶ ἀκροᾶσθαι τῶν Γραφῶν, καὶ τότε αὐτοὺς βαπτίζομεν. Καὶ τοὺς Μανιχαίους δέ, καὶ τοὺς Οὐαλεντινιανούς, καὶ Μαρκιωνιστάς, καὶ τοὺς ἐκ τῶν ὁμοίων αἱρέσεων προσερχομένους, ὡς Ἕλληνας δεχόμενοι, ἀναβαπτίζομεν· Νεστοριανοὺς δέ, καὶ Εὐτυχιανιστάς, καὶ Σεβηριανούς, καὶ τοὺς ἐκ τῶν ὁμοίων αἱρέσεων χρὴ ποιεῖν λιβέλλους, καὶ ἀναθεματίζειν τὴν αἵρεσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ Νεστόριον, καὶ Εὐτυχέα, καὶ Διόσκορον, καὶ Σεβῆρον· καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς ἐξάρχους τῶν τοιούτων αἱρέσεων, καὶ τοὺς φρονοῦντας τὰ αὐτῶν, καὶ πάσας τὰς προαναφερομένας αἱρέσεις, καὶ οὕτω μεταλαμβάνειν τῆς ἁγίας κοινωνίας.
Canon 95 of the the Quinisext council in Trullo
Those who from the heretics come over to orthodoxy, and to the number of those who should be saved, we receive according to the following order and custom.Arians, Macedonians, Novatians, who call themselves Cathari, Aristeri, and Testareskaidecatitæ, or Tetraditæ, and Apollinarians, we receive on their presentation of certificates and on their anathematizing every heresy which does not hold as does the holy Apostolic Church of God: then first of all we anoint them with theholy chrism on their foreheads, eyes, nostrils, mouth and ears; and as we seal them we say— The seal of the gift of the Holy Ghost.
But concerning the Paulianists it has been determined by the Catholic Church that they shall by all means be rebaptized. The Eunomeans also, who baptize with one immersion; and the Montanists, who here are called Phrygians; and the Sabellians, who consider the Son to be the same as the Father, and are guilty in certain other grave matters, and all the other heresies— for there are many heretics here, especially those who come from the region of the Galatians— all of their number who are desirous of coming to the Orthodox faith, we receive as Gentiles. And on the first day we make them Christians, on the secondCatechumens, then on the third day we exorcise them, at the same time also breathing thrice upon their faces and ears; and thus we initiate them, and we make them spend time in church and hear the Scriptures; and then we baptize them.
And the Manichæans, and Valentinians and Marcionites and all of similar heresies must give certificates and anathematize each his own heresy, and alsoNestorius, Eutyches, Dioscorus, Severus, and the other chiefs of such heresies, and those who think with them, and all the aforesaid heresies; and so they become partakers of the holy Communion
